Ex-Thai PM Thaksin's fortune seized
Thailand's Supreme Court ruled Feb. 26 that former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra abused his power to enrich himself and his family while in office and ordered that $1.4 billion (¥124 billion) of his telecommunications fortune be seized. The action was meant to quell tensions sparked by months of anti-Thaksin protests but instead polarized the nation. Thaksin and his supporters maintain he was overthrown because he challenged the country's entitled rich elite while helping the poor masses. (AP)
